What I do is use AirServer Xbox the app cost $20 BUT (I make new accounts and use FREE trials) with this app on your Xbox you can cast the DirecTV Now app to your Xbox as if it was AirPlay and watch like that. that’s the closet way

@Jrandomuser Your Your June14,2018 1:10am comment is quiet possibly the most laughable and unintelligent thing I have seen on these forums. It clearly shows you have little knowledge of the subject of which you speak. “If it’s even possible given the resources...on the Xbox one” are you working with a Commodore 64 as your most advanced piece of technology? They could creat an app that would work on the Xbox in very very little time if they wanted. AT&T U-verse has been on the Xbox for YEARS (since the Xbox 360). YouTube’s been on for years. Netflix longer than any of them. So to say if its even possible given the current limitations of the Xbox is absolutely laughable and shows your lack of knowledge or Your just playing stupid.

The fact has very likely been a windows based app since the inception of the service and for some reason they have chosen not to put it out. In fact even if Microsoft for some reason denied them the ability to use a Windows (Xbox) app on the Xbox, they could just as easily turn around and make a version that works in the internet explorer or edge browser and not need Microsoft’s approval of an Xbox app. The truth is there is a very specific reason they have chosen not to support Microsoft devices or browsers. What that reason is, I do not know but it’s very obvious they have gone out of there way not not support these devices and software. I find this very disrespectful to its customers when a large amount have asked about this and AT&T refuses to give a truthful answer. If they don’t want to support them then they should have the courage to simply come out and say “we aren’t going to support them, the reasons are our own so stop asking.” But that wouldn’t make since since U-verse is supported on Xbox and Microsoft browsers.

Just Faust FYI, I actually got someone at AT&T gave an answer other than “support is coming soon”. This person claims that while she doesn’t have a date we will finally get the app but we will have it this year.

DIRECTV NOW : Hello, thanks for chatting with DIRECTV NOW. Our team is investigating an issue you may be experiencing. What topic would you like to chat about?

Diana : I have checked with my team and see that there is no exact time frame. However, for 100% sure we are going to get this. Once the device is added to compatibility list, you will receive an email!!

Diana : I will forward your email address to my team.

Diana : I will go ahead and Escalate the issue for you so that it will be added soon!

Diana : ~

Me : but y’all having been saying support coming soon since directv now came out

Diana : No worries, trust me we will get as earliest as possible.

Diana : I will inform to my team.

Me : ok you obviously don’t care and are trying to get me to end the conversation. So I’ll call Monday and cancel my subscription and use a competitor that is on Xbox.

Diana : I'm sorry to hear that. i will surely take this as a feedback and forward the details.

Diana : We will get the support for you!

Me : I’m sure. Y’all have been saying that since you launched the service and can’t even give an estimate of when you might have an app out. Y’all always say it will be soon. Terrible customer support. Just what I expect from AT&T

Diana : We are remapping the servers to get the Xbox as support! However, once the games are started you will see the Xbox as support.

Me : will this be this year? Next year?

Diana : Yes, you will get in this year for sure!

Diana : I really wish I can help you with the ETA on this. Unfortunately, our team did not share any info on this. If not I would happily helped with the info!

They can't get the current devices to perform correctly. I don't see the Xbox ever being supported with DTVN beta testing a branded device just for them.
